Sorry I can't help with specifics, but I think you should rethink this. You're going to be adding a ton of un-sprung weight plus you're going to have practically no side walls between your wheel and the road. The SA at my dealer was telling me he sees TONS vehicles needing repairs because of such large rims and thin tires.

Depending on how bad the roads in your area are I would suggest 18" wheels max.

Just my opinion, I guess most will disagree...
